Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. You cannot sue under the federal law until the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has investigated. You should call the EEOC for advice. The EEOC may require that you take this up first with your employer. There may be an applicable... View More

It depends on who is asking for those records and why. Generally, a university does not have to admit you unless you provide all the academic information it requests. If you make a false statement on your application, you may be disciplined academically or subject to civil liability.

You should consult with an adoption agency in Oklahoma or an attorney familiar with Oklahoma adoption law. We don't have enough information to be more specific.

You might try visiting your attorney's office or send a letter to be sure there is no accidental miscommunication. You can go on pacer.gov, make an account, and search for your case. The documents there should tell you the status of your case.

Zoning ordinances can vary by city and county. You need to know what the permitted uses are under those local rules. If your intended land use is not permitted under the zoning rules, you can try to get the area rezoned, but it is usually simpler to get a zoning variance. A zoning variance is an... View More

Protective orders can be quite short or they can last a very long time. You would have to look at the order, itself. You should be able to get a copy of it from the clerk of the court in the county where the order was made.

The dealership failed to send me the title in a reasonable amount of time. Can i get out of my contract without a repossession on my record? Is this justified cause for a claim?
answered on Dec 1, 2013
You may be entitled to damages for any harm caused by their failure to send you a title certificate, but it is unlikely you could get out of the sale.
answered on Dec 1, 2013
Maybe. It depends on all the surrounding facts and circumstances. For example, was there was a legally enforceable agreement between the two of you that would prevent him from taking it back? Did he have legal title to the vehicle at the time he took it back? Can you prove it was a gift even if... View More

I repossed the car now the first lady is suing me for $1,000 the amount she put down on the car so what do i do??
answered on Dec 1, 2013
We do not have enough information to answer your question. An attorney would have to know much more about the details of the first sale and the repossession. There are really five things going on: the sale of a car; the financing of the sale; the buyer's sale to another purchaser; the... View More

Whether you can "get a good fight" has a lot to do with how strongly the evidence supports your position. Ask your public defender what the State has to prove and what evidence the state has. Then ask what defenses are available to you and what evidence supports those defenses. Ask the... View More
